Suspected militants kill policeman in Jammu and Kashmir
Srinagar:A policeman was killed and another wounded when gunmen opened fire on them in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday. Head constable Manzoor Ahmad and constable Abdul Kabir were on patrol
at a busy street in Srinagar in the afternoon when they were shot at by suspected
militants from a close range. “Two security personnel were on duty. They were
fired upon,” said Shyam Chand , Deputy Inspector General of Central Reserve Police
Force. Several eyewitnesses said that the gunmen fled into the crowd following
the commotion. “We were sitting inside. We heard firing shots. We came out of
the shop and saw people running here and there. We saw the two policemen lying
drenched in blood,” said Faheem Ahmed , a local. Meanwhile, security forces have
cordoned off the area and launched a manhunt. No rebel group has so far claimed
responsibility for the attack.
